  I can't tell you offhand, but I think I remember trying out 1.1.8,
finding it gave me problems, and going back a version or two.  I didn't
get this message until today (monday) at work, and I need to check on my
PC at home this evening to be sure what version I have installed.

  In the meantime, send the output from 'cygcheck -s -v -r -h' and I'll
take a look over it for you; perhaps I can find something obvious.

  The use of '/' to refer to the root of the cygwin installation is really
fundamental to cygwin's structure, and is very very very much *meant* to
work; you could have run up against a bug or something could just have
gotten messed up in your cygwin configuration somehow, but I promise you,
cygwin works properly with unix-style paths!
